Showcasing our shoe and handbag repairs with before and after photos
The leather on these Fendi flats had been lightly scuffed, the heel area on the inner lining had torn and worn away, and the soles were slippery and in need of protection from further wear. We cleaned, conditioned and restored the colour on the leather, installed new custom leather heel grips and applied a pair of new protective rubber soles.
These RM Williams boots were in desperate need of repair, with the soles worn all the way through and the leather heavily scuffed and discoloured. We performed a full leather resole, including a re-heel and protective rubber sole, as well as a restoration of the leather uppers.
This leather on this Chanel handbag was heavily stained and discoloured, to the point where the bag would need to be recoloured. We performed a full colour change, to a dark grey that concealed the stains and got the bag looking effectively new.
This Coach tote was showing signs of wear at points of significant weakness in the bag, where the strap is attached to the bag. We re-secured the loops to the bag, glueing and stitching them carefully and in a way that would strengthen those points of weakness.
The leather on this Valentino Garavani Rockstud tote bag had become dirty, dry and scuffed, leaving the leather darker and in desperate need of restoration. We cleaned and conditioned the leather before performing a full colour restoration.
This Gucci Diana tote bag was in excellent condition but for a broken bamboo handle, which we were able to re-secure to the bag by replacing damaged hardware.
The heel on one of these Wittner ankle boots was thoroughly chewed through by a god. We repaired the heels by stripping the heel blocks of the original rubber covers and re-covering the heel blocks with high-quality leather covers and new rubber bases.
The vachetta leather handles and trim on this Louis Vuitton bag had been painted over with a substance that was not absorbed by the leather and was starting to fade and peel away. We fully stripped the leather of this substance, cleaned and conditioned the bag and then recoloured the leather.
The shoulder strap on this Bally handbag was a little too short for its owner. We extended the strap by carefully installing a piece of leather in the centre of the existing strap.
